Hello everyone, I will be a year out October 26th and due to the rapid weightloss my stomach skin hangs. My insurance is Cigna and the coverage states it's not covered for skin removal, unless medically necessary. Has anyone successfully had Cigna to cover tummy tuck or anything for the abdomen area. I have rashes now I'm the folds of the skin, and have to constantly utilize antibiotic creams to gain relief. Wanting to know if anyone can give me some advice or doctors in Atlanta to handle my case. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
